Abstract (en)

[Problem] To provide a system (1100) for recovering carbon dioxide from flue gas (1002), in which a reboiler (100) in a regenerator (1008) can be compactly installed, and a method therefor, in facilities where CO 2 or the like contained in flue gas (1002) is recovered. [Solving Means] To include an absorber (1006) that absorbs CO 2 contained in flue gas (1002), a regenerator (1008) that strips CO 2 from CO 2 absorbent (rich solution) (1007) to regenerate absorbent, internal shells (101) provided at a bottom of the regenerator (1008) with a predetermined interval therebetween, into which regenerated CO 2 absorbent is introduced by a feeding unit (102) from a bottom side thereof so that the CO 2 absorbent overflows from an upper end of the internal shell (101) thereof toward the bottom of the regenerator (1108), and a reboiler (100) that is inserted into the internal shells (101) in a direction orthogonal to a vertical axis and includes a heat-transfer tube (103) that reboils absorbent. Steam separated from CO 2 absorbent reboiled by the heat-transfer tube (103) is transferred to an upper part of a regenerator (1008), condensed absorbent is caused to overflow from an upper end of the internal shell (101) and to be discharged from a bottom side of a regenerator (1008), and the absorbent is fed to the absorber (1006) as regenerated CO 2 absorbent (lean solution) (1009).
